Adding a new test case to a test plan

You can create a new test case in the context of an existing test plan or you can create a new test case independent of any test plan.
To create a new test case and add it to a test plan:
  1. Open an existing test plan or create a new one.
  2. From the test plan Table of Contents, click Test Cases.
  3. Click the Add New Test Case icon (Add new test case) to open the New Test Case window.
  4. Type a name for the new test case.
  5. Type a description of the test case.
  6. Select a test case template.
  7. Assign a numerical value for the relative weight of the test case.

    You can use the weight as a means of tracking the relative difficulty or importance of the test case. A test case that requires twice as much time to execute could have double the weight as another test case, which will factor into reports that measure your progress.

  8. Select an owner for the new test case.
  9. Select a Category, Function, and Theme.

    You can use these attributes to organize your test cases into various groupings that can later be sorted. Your team is free to define these attributes any way that makes sense.

  10. Click OK.
